Is anyone an old mfer like me and remember the original comic book. MoonKnight was my favorite off the main track hero. (And Sgt Rock)
I just don’t remember hardly any of the stuff that they have been showing. I really just remember Marc throwing those moonknight boomerangs all over the place

Me.

I first saw Moon Knight in this very comic in 1976:


At that time, he was more like Batman, with gadgets like the moon boomerangs, and a moon-copter flown by his pilot/partner Frenchie, who looked a lot like Bruce Wayne's butler Alfred.

His other 'personas'-- rich guy Steven Grant and commoner cabbie Jake Locksley were more like character disguises he used to gain intel and information.

He was still like this when I read him in some early issues of The Defenders, where they took on the 2nd (android) Zodiac cartel:


It was a few years later (1980), when Marvel changed his nature, adding more of the "mythic" aspect of Khonshu. A few years after that they came out with the idea that his three personas were actual multiple personalities and that he suffered from Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).

Not only is this completely untrue, but think of the impact on every single other marvel movie.

Imagine a universe where every single one of these heroes are nothing more than a person in the exact same institution. How much of a mind frick is that?

Didnt know how they would tie it up but they did! Great action and I love how the two work together. The mid credit scene gave me goosebumps

Now time to go see multiverse in two hours!

I still have absolutely no clue what I was watching, but I really enjoyed it. So who is crazy?

Leyla's costume was pretty cool too.

The part where they were fighting Harrow, and he brushed his shoulders off was so good lol. And i never read the comics, but there was always a lot of chatter about his other personality, Jake, which is who we see in the post cred. I like the setup. But as usual for Disney, this episode felt really rushed and could've went another episode to really go into more depth.

The final episode felt like a premiere for a Scarlet Scarab show rather than a finale for Moon Knight.

And it all felt incredibly rushed.

I really enjoyed this series. Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke were both fantastic.

I thought the show itself could have benefitted from 1 or 2 more episodes, but I didn't think this episode felt rushed. I was worried going in that it would be rushed.

Is there even going to be a season 2? I thought I had read before it came out that this would be a limited series. They absolutely need to do a season 2.

Finally Jake appears.

So is Layla becoming a wannabe WonderWoman with the Hippo Goddess, is that a comic book character? What's her official name?

I mean, we go from the climax battle with Harrow and Marc to the end credits within a span of 6 minutes.

Marc and Layla didn't even get a chance to talk to one another at the end. There was no denouement - just a half-baked climax and then straight to the end credits. It felt very abrupt.
